Book Meme: p. 123

[brigid]

1. Grab a book near you.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet. Just pick up whatever is closest.

I had been cuffed across the back of the head, hard and more than once, for "looking" at my lady visitors. I kept my head down.

And was that pragmatism or broken pride?



--Corambis by Sarah Monette. I'm pulling quotes from it to make text icons, which is why it was handy.
